Barcelona working on stunning deal to sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni Barcelona are working on a stunning deal to sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni. According to Fabrizio Romano , Barcelona have already opened talks with the player’s representatives and are hoping to get a deal sorted this summer. Barcelona see the Italian centre-back as a dream target.

While they understand that any deal will be complicated, it’s not completely out of their reach. Bastoni is reportedly open to joining Barcelona this summer, further boosting their hopes of securing his signature. However, getting Inter on board will be a significant hurdle.

Barcelona are hoping Bastoni’s desire to move to the Spotify Camp Nou would force Inter to lower their expectations in terms of transfer fees. The Serie A leaders will undoubtedly be reluctant to cash in on the 26-year-old, so it’ll take a mammoth proposal to get them on board. Like Barcelona, Inter are also hoping to improve their financial situation, and a high-profile transfer like Bastoni’s potential exit could help balance the books.

However, they wouldn’t let Bastoni leave if their financial expectations aren’t met. Reports from Italy claim Inter value Bastoni at €60-€80 million, a price Barcelona cannot match due to their own financial issues. Alternative solutions are being explored, and one could see both clubs engage in a potential swap deal, with Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres named as candidates who could interest Inter.
